Role of trypsin enzyme in digestion.

Open in App
Solution

Trypsin is an enzyme present in pancreatic juice that helps in the digestion of proteins present in our food. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. The peptide products are then further converted into amino acids via other proteases, rendering them available for absorption into the bloodstream.
